Clare Lindop and Rebel Raider


Ace Attack --  Trained by Leon Mcdonald and Ridden by Clare Lindop won at Morphetville in the benchmark 80 over 1800m. The Rebel Raider 3 year old gelding is out of the Rory's Jester mare, Buckle My Shoe . Clare tends to chase a lot of the Rebel Raider breed, to ride, and the win, must have bought back memories of  his win in the group one, Victorian Derby in 2008.


Clare Lindop -- One of the most accomplished female jockeys in Australia . Lindop has a strong association with trainer Leon MacDonald, which has assisted in her winning multiple South Australian jockeys premierships. She has ridden more than 800 winners including three Group I victories. The first one coming with the 2008 Victorian Derby on Rebel Raider. She became the first female jockey to ever ride in a  Melbourne Cup when she rode Debben for Leon MacDonald.

Rebel Raider --  Rebel Raider had 21 starts. He raced from 2 years old to 6 years old .He won from 1200m of the G3 Spring Stakes and coming from last in the 2008 VRC Derby at 100/1 proved he could stay. Rebel Raider stood his first season at stud at Carin Park in 2012, where he covered only 18 mares. He was then moved to Wyndholm Park where he has covered 84 mares in 2012, 88 in 2013, 112 in 2014, 104 in 2015 and 60 in 2016.
